PYRAMID HILL SCULPTURE MOVE

Fenton Rigging & Contracting, Inc. was recently tasked with moving two sculptures from Pyramid Hill to the Cincinnati Art Museum. Fenton utilized a variety of equipment to move the sculptures, specifically its new Tadano ATF-110G-5 crane. The pieces were relocated to their temporary new home meeting all of the customer’s expectations. WKRC Cincinnati covered the story as can be seen here.

FILTER PRESS INSTALLATION

Fenton Rigging & Contracting, Inc. partnered with a local mechanical contractor to deliver and set a 32,000 lb. filter press on an elevated platform. Getting the press into its current location meant overcoming several obstacles. The platform is located in a tight space and didn’t leave room to utilize conventional rigging methods. Coupled with the limited headroom that prevented any lifting from overhead, Fenton employed its 75-ton Tri-Lifter to get the job done, safely and on-time!
